Negative caching with maradns

[Flechsenhaar, Jon J]

I know it's a easy patch.  Unfortunatley my programs policy is to not
modify open source.  I know that probably doesn't make sense, but that's
how it is.  We can live with the current behavior.  

In the future if a configuration option is added to the next generation
Maradns, perhaps we will upgrade or apply that.  Thanks for the quick
response.

It would have to be done with UTSL: Use the source Luke. The patch would
only be a couple of lines in size.  I will not make this change with
MaraDNS' caching code since that branch of MaraDNS is frozen; however
I'm opening to aadding a feature like this to Deadwood (the
next-generation recursive resolver for MaraDNS that is only a
non-recursive resolver right now)

Note: If you send me a MaraDNS-related support question, I reserve the
right to post your support email to the Mara-DNS mailing list so that
the community at large can examine your issue. MaraDNS security
vulnerability reports, however, will be kept confidential.
